I detest the use of drones. It makes the act of waging war too damn easy. The decision to wage war should be the hardest thing a US president ever has to do.

It is reminiscent of the Death Star from the first Star Wars.

We’re wielding evil power through the technology. I’m afraid the Genie is out of the bottle.

I hope we survive.

I’m all for the drone program. Have you ever been an a light infantry company? I’m no fan of Obama, and I’m aware of the anti war left’s hypocrisy on this and a myriad of other issues, but the drone program is effective and a good tool for commanders on the ground, special forces and the like to get rounds on target.

Or in this case; Valarie Jarrett.

The reality is that it is probably just a matter of time before drones wind up being used against us - on US soil. This technology is not going to only be in US hands. It can make us just as vulnerable at home as it makes others vulnerable elsewhere.

Drones in war are like voting “Present”.

I’ll be Back.

It is, IF you are a Republican.

If you are a Democrat, you can kill as many damn people as you want, in any matter you want to, and the US Sheeple will NEVER see the images on their TV screens.

I agree with you. This publication may be leftist trash, and the author may be a libtard, but your point is spot on: Unmanned warfare makes it too damned easy to kill, and Obastard is proving why war should be difficult and painful. Nothing is more dangerous than a deadly weapon in the hands of a child. There was an episode of the original Star Trek about this.

Too easy? Are you nuts? Using that same logic, I guess cruise missiles, rockets, artillery, etc. make waging war too easy.

The idea is to kill the enemy and protect your own people. Drones are just instruments or vehicles to destroy the enemy. So far, they give us a technological advantage over the terrorists.
